“Social Justice B advocates find free markets repulsive because they lead to different outcomes for different people. Because different people with different priorities making different decisions experience different outcomes, any system that maximizes people’s freedoms to be their different selves will end up with different outcomes. If we believe that different outcomes are a priori evidence of injustice, then freedom itself is unjust.”

“The Bible is clear that discrimination exists and that Christians must resist it. Sinful discrimination indeed causes some disparities. But the Bible never goes to the extreme that we find in the thinking of Ibram X. Kendi. In his award-winning bestseller Stamped from the Beginning, Kendi argues that “racial disparities must be the result of racial discrimination.”

“Parents should also question much of the contemporary emphasis on special materials and equipment for learning in a child’s environment. A clutter of toys can be more confusing than satisfying to a child. On the other hand, natural situations, with opportunities to explore, seldom overstimulate or trouble a small child. Furthermore, most children will find greater satisfaction and demonstrate greater learning from things they make and do with their parents or other people than from elaborate toys or learning materials. And there is no substitute for solitude—in the sandpile, mud puddle, or play area—for a young child to work out his own fantasies. Yet this privilege is often denied in our anxiety to institutionalize children.”

“While they are still very young, we want to hand our boys any responsibilities we think they can handle. Actually—on the advice of my grown sons—sometimes we need to assign them a little bit more than what we think they can handle. This gives them a mission, something to conquer and overcome. We can be right there cheering them on, but we shouldn’t be too quick to rescue them. As I mentioned earlier with schoolwork, the struggle is an important part of their development.”
